At first, I had no idea what makes them different. But after seeing this Street Woman Fighter dancer vs Lee Chaeyeon, I think I got the point.
[+309][-28]
1. [+364][-9] A great dancer as an idol makes themselves look outstanding and dance beautifully. While on the other hand, dancers focus more on their movements. They have different purposes when they dance.
2. [+296][-9] Idols focus on making themselves look outstanding while dancers focus on making their movements look outstanding. But I think that dancer makes both herself and her movements look outstanding in that gif... I mean, they're always dressed in dark-colored costumes on stage and dance far in the back, which makes the idols look more outstanding. But if they were to perform in the center, we wouldn't be able to notice anything besides the dancers themselves.
3. [+211][-2] Honestly, I think Lee Chaeyeon going on Street Woman Fighter causes her more disadvantages than the opposite. Dance has always been her strength and charm, but the show only makes her show her weakness in it and fades her 'best dancer' image. I feel sorry for her...
4. [+187][-1] They obviously dance in a different way compared to idols. You just can't help but have your eyes fixed on them.
5. [+112][-0] It's like the difference between movie and theatrical play. Actresses/actors in theatrical plays tend to speak or sing loudly and show their expressions overly because they perform right in front of the audience. On the other side, actresses/actors don't need to do that in movies because the audience can easily zoom their screen. Hence they look more aesthetically pleasing and don't have to express themselves excessively. Their areas are different. I personally think Chaeyeon is the best dancer as an idol. But this program was made for professional dancers, that's why it's inevitable for her to be sort of overshadowed in this show.
6. [+104][-90] Dancers and idols are very different. But I have to admit that Lee Chaeyeon is a great dancer.
